Colombia
The Colombia drug war aid
package has stalled in the Senate, and Republican leadership are saying
that would like it to be passed during the regular Appropriations debate
in several weeks.
Only a outpouring of citizen
opposition can prevent this escalation of the drug war. Please visit

New York State
DRCNet has joined the campaign
to repeal New York state's infamous Rockefeller Drug Laws, and has launched
a web site, New Yorkers Opposing the Rockefeller Drug Laws, to build opposition
to these draconian sentencing laws and support the statewide effort for
change. Visit http://www.drcnet.org/states/newyork/
to write your state legislators and find out how to get involved.
If you're not from New York
state but know people there, please visit the web site and use our "tell-a-friend"
form to let them know about what is going on in their state.
New Yorkers Opposing the
Rockefeller Drug Laws is a partnership between DRCNet and ReconsiDer: Forum
on Drug Policy (http://www.reconsider.org).
